So am I
Really I am

not as evil as me

Just give me time

Well, I'm going to sleep. I'll talk to you tomorrow

sleep tight don't let the bedbugs bite

Thank you
Actually I couldn't sleep at all, it was preety horrible, but thank you just the same
I never understood that expression, do you?

I couldn't sleep either

well it's obviously about bugs that live in your bed and bite you if you stay awake......

I thought there were bugs in my room last night, because there was noise, and I couldn't sleep. Turns out, it was just the poster I have on the door slowly falling
That's the sort of thing that makes you feel really stupid.
I was so sleepy at work, that Katya let me go home early

I couldn't sleep because I couldn't get my mind to shut up

I know how that can be. I haven't had bad attacs of insomnia for a while. Sometimes it would take me 4 hours to fall asleep. I would usually give up, I hate the tossing and turning, trying to will yourself into falling asleep. It's a horrible thing when you're very tired and you just can't sleep.
You could try counting ship, or listennig to soothing music, or whatever they normaly advice. Sadly, it doesn't really work that well. I think it was probably invented by people who never had insomnia.
See there how my paranoia gets worse?

well my mind usually just goes into "explore the past"-mode or "think about the world"-mode....... bad bad bad bad

nope can't think of anything else

Yeah
Well, eventually when you are tired enough you just drop and don't think of anything You don't even dream

no actually I don't, I just keep getting sadder untill I finally fall into an uneasy sleep where if I'm lucky is free of nightmares

I hate nightmares...and then they haunt you in the daytime too

nightmares which are rooted in reality are the worst

Yes, they are

and now teorrists have apparently stated that DK is dead meat

When was that?
I swear, no place is safe anymore, it's getting countinuosly worse. Here in Israel were are used to terrorist attacs- that's a contradiction in terms- "used" to terrorist bombings! That's just horrible.
There doesn't seem to be anyway of stopping it

I don't know someone told me, told me because I normally spend 3 hours comuting to a major city here

so that combined with my bad luck? I'm dead meat

Nah, you are perfectly safe. Because you have bad luck and because you are unhappy and depressed you are safe. The people who get hurt in this type of thing are happy people: newly weds, small children and the like.
I hope nothing of the kind happens , of course (and also that you feel better).

no people like me get hurt and killed in those events to...... noone just gives a
